DENTIST NEAR NEWTON, MA

Dr. Alan Sasson –

Dr. Sasson’s 35+ year career in the dental field began at the Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry at Boston University. Following graduation, he advanced his skills, knowledge, and training by earning his certification in Oral Implantology from Brookdale Hospital in New York. In the coming decades, he published several papers in peer-reviewed publications, like The Laryngoscope, and held faculty appointments at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. As a result, he is a widely respected dentist and a leader in the Boston dental community. To this day, he continues to pursue advanced training as well; he is currently an active member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the International Association for Orthodontics, and several other professional organizations.

The previously mentioned accomplishments are certainly important, but what really makes him stand out from the rest is his patient-centered philosophy of care. He genuinely enjoys sitting down with each patient to learn about their unique dental needs and smile goals. In other words, he doesn’t treat teeth; he treats people! So, you will never feel like just another patient with Dr. Sasson.

Since Dr. Sasson is the founder of the Career in Dental Assisting Institute, much of his time outside the office is spent pouring into the next generation of dental professionals. Of course, he loves spending lots of time with his family as well, and he enjoys swimming, lying on his hammock, and playing golf when the weather is nice!
